For all of the snobs who are lifting up their snotty noses at the thought of others doing this.. I wonder if they'd be so kind as to share some of the things they do with their free time, so everyone else here can see how 'constructive' and 'non silly' they spend their time.

If square dancers are having fun with what they're doing, and not hurting anyone.. then more power to 'em.

We were forced to square dance for my PE class's final if we wanted to pass. This was in 2001 and the school was pretty far from Hicksville. I'm still not sure if the gym teachers sucked that hard or they were playing a joke of "What is the exact opposite of what these teenagers find cool."

I graduated in '98, and was probably one of the few who kind of enjoyed it (though the music sucked).

If square dancing is so damn "not hurting anyone", why is it so damn important to have special insurance while conducting and sponsoring dance activities?

From the page you linked..

"As closely as safety rules are followed, accidents can and will happen. "

Just about any group that has more than three people meeting together these days has similar insurance. My astronomy group has one for star parties. My ham club has one for hamfests.

And I like the music, just depends on the band. Now personally, I'd like to see some modern adaptations, like maybe heavy metal music square dancing, just to get the younger people interested, don'tcha know.

I never thought square dancing was "cool" (finger quotes), but I always did think it was a hell of a lot of fun if you're willing to not worry about the silliness or cooties and if the caller can keep a fast pace.

Next idiotic point that you're going to _try_ to make?

So you're not disputing that one can get hurt square-dancing. Which is kinda exactly the opposite of what you said previously. Take your dancin' shoes off off the shelf. Talk around in circles, contradict yourself. Uh, do-si-do.

Back in the day, dancing was fairly intimate and partner oriented. Basically it was a way to mix the sexes and meet people.

Nowadays, dancing is strangely more sexual but less intimate? I know that I've been to dance clubs and spent more time dancing around other people than WITH them. If you are dancing with them and grinding, you're probably not even face to face, and if you were you can't hear each other over the music anyway.

Sorry, they're too busy twerking.

If square dancing were traditionally something blacks did instead of whites and someone posted about it with the FAIL tag, the cries of racism would be deafening.

West Virginia leads the charge to bring back square dancing, because that's fun - Writes fat poster while sitting on his lard butt, eating doritos, choking back a 2 gallon pepsi and eating a jumbo size snickers.

Now grab a nug whose cones are busty Weiz her gig and make her crusty Grab your dude Don't use roughness Move in close and groove his buffness Buff the wood, buff the woodCome on, buff the wood - B-B-B-B-B-B-B-Buff the wood

Actually, no it isn't a snooze fest. Well, if someone forces you to do it in a PE class....perhaps.

But when I was about 16 some folks started an organization, and it grew...about 150 people started attending. There were a whole lotta hot teenage chicks that came with their parents, and a bunch of us guys decided to give it a shot. It was a blast. We'd hang out with hot teen chicks and then go outside and smoke (we were *wild* back then). I just went for the chicks initially...but as I learned to do the moves I was surprised....was actually a lotta fun.

FYI....ya don't just do it. It consists of a *lot* of choreographed moves - known as "calls", and over the course of months (or years) you slowly learn more and more difficult and convoluted moves.

/but NO there won't be any Dirty Square Dancing movies anytime soon//it is called SQUARE after all
